A flavorful and satisfying wrap filled with tender shredded chicken, creamy cheeses, and fragrant garlic, all wrapped in a soft tortilla and toasted to golden perfection. This quick and easy recipe is perfect for a delicious lunch, dinner, or snack, combining cheesy goodness with a hint of garlic for irresistible taste.
Ingredients:
2 large tortillas
1 cup cooked and shredded chicken breast
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
1 tbsp olive oil
2 minced garlic cloves
Instructions:
Prepare the Filling
In a small skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
In a mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, cream cheese, shredded mozzarella, and the sautéed garlic. Mix well until evenly combined.
Assemble the Wrap
Lay the tortillas flat on a clean surface.
Spoon the chicken and cheese mixture onto the center of each tortilla.
Fold in the sides and roll tightly to form a wrap.
Cook the Wraps
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Place the wraps seam-side down in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Serve
Slice the wraps in half and serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce (e.g., ranch, garlic aioli, or marinara).
Notes:
You can use rotisserie chicken or leftover grilled chicken for convenience.
Adjust the garlic quantity to your preference for more or less flavor.
If desired, add herbs like parsley or basil for extra freshness.
Tips:
Warm the tortillas slightly before assembling to make them easier to fold.
For a crispy texture, brush the wraps with olive oil before toasting.
Add veggies like spinach, roasted bell peppers, or caramelized onions for additional flavor.
